HENRY BARTON, OF VES'I CARLISLE, OHIO.`

MACHINE `FOR STRET'CHINVG HORSE-COLLARS.

Specification ofLetters Patent No. 827, dated July 9, 1838i.

T0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY BARTON, of West Carlisle, in t-he county of Coshocton, in the State of Ohio, have invented anew and Improved Mode of Forming and Stretching Horse-Collars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of my said invent-ion.

The block On which the collar is formed is made of wood of a sufiicient size and height to .receive the collar. It is fixed on a strong stand` or t-able of sufiicient size, and divided into two parts, one of which, that forming the lower part ofthe collar is firmly attached to the table, and is represented in the annexed drawing A, Figure 1. The other part of the block B, Fig. 1, is united to A by la tongue and groove as C, D, Fig. 1, the part B being attached to a slide by bolts as at B, Fig. 2, which slide runs in a groove on the under side of the table as A, Fig. 2. The

slide is pressed'forward and drawn back by the screw, as at E, Figs. 1 and 2, by Which the block is enlarged to any size required, and as the part of the blo-ck B, Fig. 1, is

, pressed forward by the screw the spaces be tween the two parts of the blocks are lled up with wedges as at a a at, Fig. 1, made of the various sizes required for diierent collars. On the end of the slide which projects beyond the end of the table is an upright bolt, of wood or iron I, Figs. 1 and 2, ,to which is attached a cord which crosses between the upright I-I and the block on which the collar is formed, and passes around the collar on the block. The bolt H is firmly attached to the table. The bolt I is movable and may be placed in holes as atb'b,Figs. 1 and 2, near to or remote from` the end of the slide as may be required by the size of the collar which renders it unnecessary to `changethe cord for different collars. The

slide A, Fig. '2, is worked forward and backward, by the screw E, Figs. 1 and 2, and attached to the slide by a key On the end of the screw as at F, Fig. 2. The screw Works through a nut as at D, Fig. `2. y

K, Fig. 1, represents a roller passing entirely across the under. side of the table held by a dog as at L, Fig. 1. To this roller is att-ached cords one near each end which pass through holes in the table, as at N, Fig. 1, and are attached to the hames which may be on the collar for the purposeof pressing down the lower part of the collar.

I claim as my invention (and desire to se-` cure by Letters Patent)- 1. The slide A, Fig. 2, with the upright bolt I, combined with the Vmovable part of the block, by which the collar is stretched by means of the screw.

2. I also claim as my invention the model of pressing down the collar by means of the roller attached to the haines, also the shifting the bolt I vto adaptV the cord to the` size of the collar.
